Bellamy really didn’t mind listening to Rex talking about
his car. Actually, quite the contrary! He found it rather
endearing. Hearing the tone of the young man’s voice, it
was obvious that the Camaro was his pride and joy, and
his enthusiasm was most definitely contagious.
The dark haired male found himself smiling without even
realizing he was doing so… And if you knew Bellamy, you’d
know that the Kelpie’s default expression was usually one
of mild disdain… So the smile? It was a rare occurrence
indeed.
The whole ride so far, Bellamy had taken to quietly observing
the other male, hazel eyes never daring to look away for
fear he might realize he was dreaming. With dirty blonde hair
and absolutely stunningly bright blue eyes, Rex was one of…
No, scratch that… Rex was the most beautiful human being
the Kelpie had ever seen (and he had seen many in his life
thus far).
Needless to say, he was mesmerized by the man, and so
when Rex directly addressed him, Bellamy’s dark brows rose
in slight surprise. “ Me?“
Shit, don’t say anything too weird Bell… You don’t want to just
let it slip that you’re actually a supernatural water horse…
That probably wouldn’t go over so well right then.
“Um… I like to swim?” He ran a hand through his dark locks,
“I mean, I was never on any teams or anything when I was
younger, but I was pretty good,” he cleared his throat before
continuing, “Actually, I still am.” There! That was close to the
truth, right?
“I live right down by a lake, so I’m lucky enough to get to go
out in the water whenever I want. I usually go later in the
evening…
I’m not much of a morning person.”
He leaned back in the passenger’s seat and made a noise of
amusement, “And yet here I am, going out to breakfast with you,
at basically the crack of dawn.”
Rex just didn’t want to do all the talking, he did that
sometimes. Especially in date situations like the one
he currently was in. Here was this very attractive
young man who had asked Rex out on a date and
the mechanic couldn’t help but be a little nervous,
simply because he really liked the guy. There were
many things that Rex didn’t want to mess up, this
was one of them.
A small and amused chuckle left his lips as he stopped
the car at a stop light, taking this chance to check his
mirrors and glance at Bellamy at the same time. Then
he was moving again, nodding his head to let the other
man know he was listening. Bellamy seemed a tad bit
nervous or perhaps it just seemed that way because
of the way he didn’t exactly know what to say, well,
that and the way he said “me” like he didn’t know what
to say exactly.
“Did you grow up by a body of water?” Rex asked, eyes
shifting to look at Bell momentarily before he made a turn.
“My sister was on the swim team, I mean, the last time I
checked in with her. Maybe sometime we could go swimming
at your place.”
He was trying to make conversation but Rex wasn’t too
sure how he was doing on that front. But thankfully they
had arrived to their destination and Rex was able to park
and finally fully look over at Bellamy with a smile.
“Well don’t I feel special.” The mechanic hummed, lips
parting enough to flash a white smile that touched his
bright baby blue eyes. So far he was enjoying himself
and was pleased that Bellamy had agreed to this early
morning date which Rex fully had planned on lasting for
the entire day if he was lucky.
“I mean, you feel really tired you could just take a nap in the
car--” Rex shrugged as if suggesting a nap was an every day-
first date kind of thing. A small laugh, mostly aimed at himself,
left his lips before he threw a thumb towards the Waffle House.
“Or we could go in and get some coffee?”
